Our Team

Our collective skill is the result of years of combined experience in the industry. Our team is dedicated to understanding even the most sophisticated clientele, while creating spectacular designs to match their visions. Our talented staff of designers and installers, led by Anna Mesaikos, has achieved national recognition for its creativity and workmanship. Excellence in cabinet and kitchen design is ingrained in our culture and we are proud to serve the greater New York City area.

Anna Mesaikos, President

As leader of the design team, Anna sees her beautiful kitchen showroom and gallery as an extension of the brands she represents. She spent her formative years immersed in the arts, which laid the groundwork for her career as a designer.
Anna is drawn to the challenge of space conceptualization and has dedicated her professional life to moving the kitchen
and cabinetry design world forward.

Anna’s grandmother introduced her to the world of Mediterranean cooking. Preparing interesting and healthy meals has since
become a family tradition. So much time spent in the kitchen with her own family is a large part of Anna’s motivation for wanting to design beautiful and functional kitchens for her clients and their families.

For Anna, the rewards of a hard day’s work include a combination of yoga, dance, and pilates.

Lavern Brown, Administrator

Lavern is the heart of American Classic Kitchens. She handles all customer service and coordinates schedules
for our contractors. Her kindness and patience are true virtues for us. She understands the inconveniences that can arise with projects and keeps a helpful ear tuned to our customers’ needs at all times.

Cooking is one of Lavern’s great passions, her specialties include soul food and Spanish cuisine. Raised in New York, the arts play an important role Lavern’s life. Her most important role as mother of two girls leaves little time for dull moments.

Client Reviews and Testimonials

We have worked with American Classic Kitchens on a number of projects for clients with successful results. From planning to selection to installation, you can count on excellent service and coordination.

David Kagan, David Kagan Design

As a working design professional in both Palm Beach County and New York, I can highly recommend American Classic Kitchens. Their professionalism and sage advice in all kitchen cabinet design areas with both Wood-Mode and Brookhaven lines assured both me and my clients that their new kitchen would be as successful as the rest of the design I put together for them. I am extremely happy with the quality work Anna and her team produce.
